SAN BERNARDINO: Courthouse sting catches 13 driving illegally

Trending

Thirteen people who had just been told by a judge not to drive were cited on Tuesday, April 8, after San Bernardino police officers watched them get into their cars and drive away from the courthouse, a news release said.

From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., officers conducted an undercover sting at Superior Court, targeting drivers whose licenses had been suspended or revoked because they had driven while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Sgt. Vicki Cervantes wrote. Officers followed 28 such drivers out of the courthouse.

Some found alternative transportation, but 13 got in their cars and were pulled over and cited.

Police wrote 13 tickets for driving on a suspended/revoked license and nine tickets for miscellaneous traffic offenses. Fourteen vehicles were impounded.

The operation was paid for by a grant from the state Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
